Football Feast, Starting From the Acquisition of European Clubs - Chapter 475
Chapter 475 Insane
The Belgian Football Association is naturally very happy to invite Chen Ran, a hot top coach, as the head coach of the national team.
But Chen Ran is only willing to sign a two-year contract with them, which makes the Belgian Football Association entangled.
Two years is only enough for Chen Ran to lead Belgium to participate in the 2016 European Cup in France, but what about the next 2018 World Cup in Russia?
Although Kompany already knew the reason why Chen Ran only signed a two-year contract, Chris, the chairman of the Belgian Football Association, went to London to persuade Chen Ran to change his mind.
“Mr. Chairman, I have already agreed to Messi to be the head coach of the Argentine national team, but because their Football Association is in chaos now, no one can make a decision, so I will accept your invitation.”
“The current plan is also the result of discussions between Messi and Kompany. After all, I promised Messi first. Now that I have made a promise, I will not go back on my word. Mr. Chairman, please understand my decision.”
Seeing Chen Ran’s firm attitude, the Belgian Football Association finally had to give in and signed a two-year contract with Chen Ran.
Chen Ran’s unexpected appointment as the head coach of the Belgian national team has surprised and puzzled many people.
In addition, everyone discovered that Chen Ran and the Belgian Football Association had only signed a two-year contract, and the time would be the end of the European Cup in France. Instead of four years under normal circumstances, by the end of the World Cup in Russia, this will arouse everyone’s curiosity even more.
Such a high-profile matter, the media reporters will naturally not let it go.
Soon, the highly resourceful reporters got inside information and revealed the results of the negotiations between Messi and Kompany.
“Good guy, Chen Ran is really in demand. Argentina and Belgium are willing to share the use.”
“Didn’t you read what was written in the news. Chen Ran had promised Messi to be the head coach of the Argentine national team, but the chairman of the Argentine Football Association suddenly died. The people below all wanted to grab the chairman’s seat, and they didn’t have the heart to manage the national team. It’s a matter of choosing a handsome man.”
“Hehe, there are too many messy things in South American football. It is better for Chen Ran to stay in Europe to coach.”
“That’s right. I checked the president of the Argentine Football Association, Julio Grondona, who just died. From 1979 to the present, he has been the president of the Argentine Football Association for a total of 35 years. It is too outrageous.”
“Anyway, Chen Ran hasn’t won the European Cup yet. As the head coach of the Belgian national team this time, he can just take home this championship trophy.”
“If Chen Ran wins the European Cup again, plus the World Cup champion, America’s Cup champion, UEFA Champions League champion and Club World Cup champion, etc., Chen Ran will basically take all the top football championships. Take it all.”
“I’ll go, it turns out that Chen Ran is going for the grand slam.”
“If Chen Ran can really do it, then he will really be ‘there is no one before and no one to come’.”
The 2016 European Cup in France expanded from 16 participating teams to 24 participating teams for the first time. But the qualifiers will start this year.
Belgium is in Group B along with Wales, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Israel, Cyprus and Andorra.
Belgium’s first match will be against Andorra at home on October 11.
The 2014 World Cup in Brazil ended in July. After a short vacation, the players have to face the 2014-2015 league season.
At this time, most of the players participating in the World Cup will not be in good condition, both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, Belgium’s first opponent, Andorra, is very weak, so it happened to be used as a warm-up match to refresh the players.
With captain Kompany and the team’s two main players, De Bruyne and Courtois, Chen Ran quickly became familiar with the Belgian national team.
As Chen Ran learned before, the relationship between the Dutch-speaking Flemish players and the French-speaking Walloon players in the Belgian team is indeed not very good.
Looking in front of him, a group of Walloon players surrounding Hazard, a group of Flemish players around De Bruyne, and a group of immigrant players around Captain Kompany, Chen Ran couldn’t help but frowned slightly. brow.
There were less than thirty people, but they were divided into three distinct factions.
It’s really a little demon in the temple with a big wind, and the pool is shallow and full of kings.
“Before signing the contract with the Belgian Football Association, someone reminded me that the internal conflicts of the Belgian national team were very serious, and advised me not to take over the position of head coach of the Belgian national team.”
“I didn’t quite believe it at first, but today, it seems that the situation is probably much more serious than what I heard.”
Glancing at the group of agitated Belgian players in front of him, Chen Ran ignored them and continued talking on his own.
“My situation, I believe you all know it without saying too much. I only signed a two-year contract with the Belgian Football Association. The worst result is to waste two years and then go to coach the Argentine national team.”
“Now, let me ask you a question, do you want to win the European Cup in 2016?”
“Of course I want to! Boss, everyone admires your coaching ability. Just tell us what to do, and we will all listen to you!”
As soon as Chen Ran finished speaking, Kompany, the captain of the team, immediately stood up and answered.
“Ah, very good.”
Chen Ran nodded in satisfaction, thinking that it was no wonder Kompany was able to secure the captain’s position in such a chaotic team. The assist was timely and accurate.
“what about you?”
Chen Ran turned his head to look at the Flemish Gang headed by De Bruyne and the Walloon Gang headed by Hazard.
“Boss, of course we want to win the European Cup!”
As the owner of the Crystal Palace Club, De Bruyne will naturally not give Chen Ran face. Even after Kompany, he also showed his attitude.
This time, all eyes were on Hazard.
Hazard is not a fool, so naturally he would not be the one who stands out at this time, and immediately expressed his support.
Although Kompany and De Bruyne were responsible for making Chen Ran the head coach of the Belgian national team from beginning to end, Hazard did not object to Chen Ran being the head coach.
After all, he is also playing in the Premier League. Chen Ran’s great achievements can be said to be like thunder.
Coupled with the fact that Chen Ran led the team to win the World Cup twice in a row, such a top coach would only be pushed by a fool.
It’s just that Hazard is a little worried, whether Chen Ran will favor Kompany and De Bruyne, and then put all the Walloon players on the bench.
Seems to have heard Hazard’s voice, and Chen Ran immediately announced a few more regulations.
“Very well, since everyone wants to win the European Cup, they must first unite. I don’t want to see you standing together so clearly in the future.”
“In addition to using English to communicate in the team, I will also adjust your rooms next.”
“For example a Flemish player lives in the same room as an immigrant player, a Walloon player lives in the same room as a player, or a Flemish player lives in the same room as a Walloon player.”
Speaking of this, Chen Ran deliberately paused, looking at the stunned expressions of the team members, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up.
“De Bruyne, starting today, you and Hazard live in the same room, I hope you can get along well.”
After finishing speaking, Chen Ran turned around and left.
But before taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and added something.
“Oh, there is one more thing I forgot to say just now. If someone makes trouble in the team, then during my tenure as the head coach of the Belgian national team, he will no longer be included in the national team’s squad.”
After finishing the brief meeting, Chen Ran immediately began to train these Belgian players.
Not only did he completely disrupt the original list of player room assignments, but he also specially arranged that Flemish players could only pass the ball to Hazard and Walloon players could only pass the ball to De Bruyne during training. Regulation.
Suddenly, the huge changes made the Belgian players very uncomfortable. Chen Ran’s first training camp after taking office suddenly became a mess.
Fortunately, Chen Ran has enough outstanding results. Although the Belgian players complained about the new regulations he formulated, no one dared to jump out and be the first bird in the end.
The football circle is a big sieve, and there are no secrets at all.
The media reporters who were very interested in Chen Ran as the head coach of the Belgian national team quickly got information about the situation in the Belgian team from the players.
Chen Ran’s series of measures were immediately spread all over the world.
“Good guy, Chen Ran is going to make a major transformation of Belgium!”
“Let De Bruyne, the leader of the Flemish people, and Hazard, the leader of the Walloons, live in the same room. Chen Ran’s move is really damaging.”
“I think Chen Ran did the right thing. Otherwise, a team that is not united, no matter how strong it is, may not win the championship.”
“It’s only a head coach like Chen Ran who has countless championship trophies in his hands. If it were another coach, the players would have rebelled long ago.”
“I have more confidence in Belgium now. I really want to see what kind of level the Belgian team can play without internal friction.”
“Me too. In the next European Cup qualifiers, I will take a good look at what this Belgian team will look like after Chen Ran’s transformation.”
What Chen Ran did in the Belgian team unexpectedly received a lot of praise.
At least in Belgium, many people of insight have expressed their support for Chen Ran.
Actually, it’s not that no one knows about the problems of the Belgian national team, and it’s not that they don’t want to solve them.
It’s just that the Belgian head coaches in the past couldn’t hold down these players no matter in terms of ability level or performance resume.
Now, everyone wants to see how much energy the Belgian national team can burst out after the transformation of Chen Ran, a top coach.
On October 11, Belgium ushered in its first European Cup qualifier against Andorra at home.
Chen Ran did not relax because of the weak opponent. On the contrary, he dispatched the entire main lineup of Belgium. The purpose is very simple, is to get a good start.
Center Lukaku
Left midfielder Hazard, midfielder De Bruyne, right midfielder Carrasco
The midfielder Witsel, the midfielder Fellaini, the midfielder Dembele
Left center back Vermaelen, center back Kompany, right center back Alderweireld
Goalkeeper Courtois
Compared to the talented midfielder, Belgium’s forward line has only one Lukaku shot.
And even Lukaku is uneasy. Although Lukaku is known as the “little monster”, he still failed to reach the height of Drogba after all.
Therefore, Chen Ran designed a set of tactics for Belgium to defend well first and then seek offense.
He made full use of the large number of players available in the Belgian midfield and deployed three midfielders in front of the defense.
Then hand over the offense to De Bruyne, Hazard, Lukaku and Carrasco.
If the four of them still can’t break through the opponent’s goal, Chen Ran has also prepared the final trump card, which is the high-altitude bombing tactic he often used in the early days of the Crystal Palace Club.
You know, the Belgian national team has a large group of tall players.
Lukaku is 191CM tall, Fellaini is 194CM tall, Kompany is 190CM tall, Vertonghen is 189CM tall, and Alderweireld is 187CM tall. As for the remaining 186CM and 185CM, I won’t mention them.
With so many big men, if you don’t use high-altitude bombing tactics, it’s just a waste of money.
Andorra unfortunately became the first victim of Chen Ran’s new tactics in the Belgian national team.
With Lukaku’s brace and goals from De Bruyne, Fellaini, Kompany and Alderweireld, Belgium beat Andorra 6-0 at home.
What’s outrageous is that, except for De Bruyne’s goal, which was scored with his feet, all the other five goals were scored with headers.
“Fuck! Is Chen Ran trying to transform Belgium into a header team?”
“Hahahaha, did Chen Ran see that the Belgian players are all tall, and felt it a pity not to make good use of their height advantage?”
“Maybe it’s really like this. When Chen Ran was coaching Crystal Palace, he used high-altitude bombing tactics a lot.”
“That’s right. When Crystal Palace couldn’t start the situation before, Chen Ran often sent all the big men in the team to the field, and the results were quite good.”
“If the Belgian team really becomes a leading team in the future, I don’t know how the Belgians will feel.”
“Hehe, as long as Chen Ran can help them win the European Cup, they promise to have no objection.”
…
Next, under the leadership of Chen Ran, Belgium killed all sides.
Wales 4:0, Bosnia and Herzegovina 2:0, Israel 3:0, Cyprus 5:0.
Five games, Belgium scored a total of 20 goals, but did not concede a goal, ranking first in the group without dispute.
What’s even more insane is that out of the 20 goals scored by Belgium, headers accounted for 15 of them.
Suddenly, the name of the Belgian head team was widely spread.
